Reeves began his acting career at the age of nine. He appeared on stage
at a production of Damn Yankees.
Damn Yankees is a musical comedy with a
book by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop and music and lyrics by Richard Adler
and Jerry Ross. The story is a modern retelling of the Faust legend set during
the 1950s in Washington, D.C., during a time when the New York
Yankees dominated Major League Baseball. The musical is based on Wallop's novel
The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant.
